The route Alex runs is mostly cross country. From his house, he runs close to the beach, then ascends to the small cliffs that overlook the bay. Before reaching the cliff path, the route turns slightly inland to the small woods. These are mostly bushes with a row of trees that form an avenue of low overhanging foliage, which give a little shelter for drizzling rain and cool shadow from the summer sun. After the half-mile cliff path, the run turns inland again to open land passes a few cottages. It is about a six-mile run, and Alex likes to run it every other day.
Sometimes, Alex will run the opposite way to add a little variation. It was on such a day that the lace in his shoe broke as he passed Martine's cottage. Today, he ran the normal route, but this time, he had replacement laces in his pocket to give back to Martine. As he came close to Martine's house, he could see two women chatting. He recognized Martine but not the other woman. He did notice that both women have slim athletic figures.
"Hi," Alex called out as he came to the house and gave the new laces to Martine. Martine greeted him and introduce her good friend Julie. Wanting to get to know Alex more, Julie asked a lot of questions about running and his run in particular. Alex explained the route and suggested that they go running too. Then he made his excuse to go, and finish his run. Julie smiled at Martine and told her that they should go running with Alex sometime soon.
"It looks like a dirty sport," Martine said as she looked at mud on Alex's legs.
"I hope so!" Julie said. "There is nothing wrong with a little dirt".
"Well all you need is some good running shoes," Alex told them as he turned and ran off.
A week later, Alex started his run, and just before he got to the small woods he saw another runner ahead of him. He could tell she was a woman runner, but he was surprised by the clothes she was wearing. They seemed to be a short skirt and a loose top. As he got closer to her, he could see she was wearing very baggy shorts and a big old tee-shirt. Then he lost sight of her as she disappeared into the woods.
When Alex reached the wood he saw her sitting on a stone at the edge of the path, and she was panting. Alex recognized her and stopped opposite. He stooped down to ask Julie if she was fine, for she looked a bit red in the face. Julie told Alex she was good, but Alex was hardly listening for his eyes were captivated by her manner. She was sitting with her knees open, the baggy shorts very loosely fitting, and Alex could see right up the leg of the shorts. He could tell she was not wearing any pants under the shorts, as he could almost see her pussy.
The big old tee-shirt hung at the front to show off her pert breast and very nice cleavage. 'There is nothing wrong with a little dirt', he recalled her words.
He was glad she wore a sports bra for running, but he could not help imagining how her nipples would have looked. Alex waited a few minutes until Julie had recovered her breath in the short rest.
"Come on let's get going again," Alex suggested as he held out his hand to help her up.
Julie accepted and Alex pulled her up to stand almost pressing herself on him. Alex smiled
pleasingly. They stood lingering very close to each other, as their body language of offer and acceptance was quite apparent. He wondered if he should explore the space in those shorts, and slide his hand up the leg of her loose shorts. He decided it was too soon, and too risky there in the woods. Trying to clear his mind he started to sprint off, still holding Julie's hand tightly.
Julie was not expecting to start moving, and the sudden jerk caused her to trip and fall over. His enthusiasm had dragged her to the ground, possibly spraining her ankle. Julie could only hobble, and Alex felt silly and that he had let her down. To make amends he simply picked her up and carried her back along the path towards Martine's house.
On the way, he held hold of her thighs with one hand. and around her back with the other. It was not a comfortable way to carry her, but he did have his hand on her thigh. As he walked his hand was slipping further up her thigh, due to the sweat on Julie's leg. Julie did not comment on his hand as she rested her head on his shoulder, occasionally smiling at Alex. As they passed a muddy puddle Alex's hand slipped up more. Julie jumped, and they both fell into the puddle.
"Well you did say, there is nothing wrong with a little dirt," Alex said before they both broke into laughter.
Julie was laying on top of Alex, and smiled at him with those 'Come to bed eyes'. "I like getting dirty with you," she said.
